Co-education means the combined education of girls and boys in educational Institutions. it was initiated in Switzerland. with the passage of time, it was adopted by European and American nations and then it spread over all other Continents. This is a modern Concept but regarding co-education people have two points of view. Some of them favor co-education.

            They believe that it is Good for a developing country such as Pakistan which cannot afford the expenses of (Books, libraries, laboratories, etc) to separate schools, colleges, and universities for women. They believe that it can also be a source to promote gender equalization. it makes boys civilized and undoes the shyness of girls.

            According to the supporters of co-education developing countries have a large number of females in their labor force but unfortunately, they are not indulged in production activities therefore developing countries have low GDPs. On the other hand opponents of Co-education believe that boys are young at University and college levels. They are blind and maybe cat's paw at the hands of their emotions.

            Indeed, some of the opponents disclosed the Truth that developing countries like Pakistan have a huge number of students in universities or colleges and it's impossible for them to combine boys and girls together for educational purposes. The opponents of Co-education also refer to the Islamic ideology which doesn't allow co-education. so, it's like crying for the moon to implement a co-education system in Islamic Countries.
